看原文下面的读者comments,还是有很多不同意见的,不乏有人认为作者别有用心。但是也不能排除这些读者不是Ford的托,因为所有人都空前一致的认为Ford才是最安全的。

This is among the most inaccurate articles I have read in a long time. Ford has the best safety ratings for 2009 vehicles of all manufacturers, yet somehow managed to get excluded. That took some imaginative manipulation.

the guy talking about a cruise control switch from 1993, Have you ever seen or personally know any cars that started on fire? I did'nt think so. you're as bad as the media. I'll bet there are'nt any phoney videos on you tube you moron.

I would like to reiterate what has been stated above. Ford has more top picks by the IIHS than any other manufacturer. It has more 5-star ratings from the NHTSA than any manufacturer. Among those are some of Fords increasingly popular vehicles like the Edge, Flex, MKS and its long-time best-seller F-150. The Fusion and Milan and small SUV Escape and Mariner also make the list. Although your methodology is explained it seems contrived just enough to favor a specific manufacturer. But by all other sources besides your test, Ford appears to be the industry leader in safety.

It's revealing that U.S. News & World Report rates the safety of both the 2009 Fusion and Malibu over the Accord, Camry, and Altima. (see
http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/rankings/Affordable-Midsize-Cars/). I would be satisfied if these magazine reporters contented themselves to giving their opinions of ride & handling and left safety analysis to the real experts at the IIHS and NHTSA.
It's impossible to reconcile your conclusions with the 2008 Insurance Institue for Highway Safety study. In the November 2008 IIHS, Ford and its Volvo subsidiary had more top safety picks (16) than any other manufacturer. See the IIHS press release

After reading several of this guy's articals, I've come to the conclusion he just doesn't like the American brands. Consumer's had nothing but good thinks to say about the Fusion, yet he goes on-and-on about the Accord. I think Forbes needs to evaluate this guy's unbias reporting. Remember, figures don't lie, but liars figure.
